What may be most disappointing here is that it's another wasted role for [Dolph] Lundgren as Anders, the elder statesman muscle of the heroes.

Rated: 1.5/5

It’s an unambitious Die Hard clone with likable actors, aimed at audiences looking for something adequate.

I don’t have a lot of nice things to say about The Best Man. It isn’t very good.

The Best Man is also just as much about the authentic, life-like friendships between Harper and the rest of his college circle...

It’s the rare movie with nothing to offer.

I think the viewers who would best enjoy such a trifle are the rabid fans of Dolph Lundgren, who would see anything he's in.

So disappointing even with all the popular stars in it. The first half of the movie is atrociously boring. There is no tension or mysteries or twists with the characters or plot or setting or weapons. It is, after all, an action movie. But the action is so slow and rote and uninspired, it's hard to believe these characters were actually in the military. The villains were one-dimensional and lackluster. I'm mad at Hulu for actually purchasing this film. I enjoyed "Shotgun Wedding" more, even though it was an action comedy with the same plot - armed gunmen take wedding guests hostage. I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this movie.

If it was a little worse it could've been a really solid comedy, instead it just made me sad.

An hour and a half of my life gone. Terrible acting, terrible script, ridiculous portrayed events and situations. Dolph Lundgren and Luke Wilson, even their acting was bad Action scenes were not performed or written well. Things just didn't make sense. Satellite phone that was actually a walkie talkie etc. I've seen IFC movies better than this. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Bad writing, bad acting. The best part was the credits.
